2011 - our 40-year class reunion


2011 is just around the corner! Considering that we are already discussing the presidential election in 2012...exhausting, isn't it?


Class of 71 will be having a 40-year extravaganza in 2011 and here is something to think about:


Historically, SWHS classes had their reunions in August (I'm talking in the olden days, maybe 20 years ago). In the current times, more classes, including ours, have reunions closer to the 4th of July. Many people like to come to SW for Loggerodeo activities, and it could be convenient to have our reunion around that time.


July 4th falls on a Monday in 2011. That will be the day of the Loggerodeo Parade and Class of 71 will want to be in it!


The second Saturday in July is the 9th, and that is probably the date of the SWHS Alumni Association All-Class Picnic.


Some classes have been holding their reunions the same day or weekend as the all-class picnic. They reserve the small shelter at Riverfront Park (the all-class picnic uses the large shelter) and continue the festivities after 4 p.m. when the all-class picnic is over.


If we would prefer to have the reunion event closer to the 4th of July, we need to look at July 2 and/or 3.


Or go out to August or another time.


Just a few things to consider. It's not an emergency - yet! I'll be happy to compile people's opinions and suggestions about this and we can come to a decision later.
